We are pleased to share this recording with our global community and hope you find the expert discussions from this event helpful in providing tangible advice and insights. These resources aim to support people living with dementia through rehabilitation, ensuring quality of life and independence post-diagnosis.

Rehabilitation following a dementia diagnosis can be an effective approach to empower individuals to maintain independence for as long as possible. It can also help ensure that those living with the condition remain central to decisions regarding their treatment and care.
